Hickorr Press and Carolinian, May 9th. - There was an election in Hicory last Monday for Mayor and three Aldermen. There was as usual some other or one other question injected into the election besides business. ' Some people triedx to make it a " wet" or "dry "f ticket and election. But among those who were "posted" this question "cut no figure" in it. These are cold tacts. The truth about the matter is the editor of the Press, and " Carolinian was seduced, or otherwise induced to run for Al derman, and his friend, Mr. Jesse F. Click, to run as a. candidate on the ticket with him. They would have made and did make ; a fine team, but Mr. Click flew the track at the quarter post and published "a card" which hurt him as well as the balance of the gang. The election being over and the "wets" having won it, that is to say, as they remained"" in the ring," they, that is the "drys," and a few more or less of " hoodlums " and others, met, .no doubt verv appropri ately, in front of the bank and called on Wisinger and Bisinger and others to make speeches. The speeches were the best we ever heard, but we never (heard these. Everyone complimented his own side, and man, too, and said it was the best thing that ever happened, and that Hickory will have nearly a thousand peo ple in two years trom now. ....

BY ONE OF HI8 HUMBLE DESCENDANTS. - i Written for the Lenoir Topic. How oft my heart is moved by sight of thee. Thou Mountain King in thv grand dignity! A fitting tribute to thr praise I'd sing In glowing verse--by pen from Angel's wing! I'd join glad Nature's tuneful voice to swell The melodies that come from hill and dell ; And wreathe thy brow with chaplet richer far Than e'er proud victor wore when back from holy war. But noble themes to mighty minds belong: And yet, mettainka, a simple, loving song Might offered be to monarch high and grand E'en as to Ocean's bound, the smallest grain of sand. In form, majestic, thou dost proudly stand A mute and faithful sentinel o'er all the land; And thro' long ages have thy children shown The honors that to thee belong, alone. 'Tis said, when Chieftain bold did fix his gaze On thy uplifted face in olden days. And on thy profile gazed in silent awe As oft he roamed o'er heights and wilds afar. With reverence he gave thine honored name. That rapt beholders since hath loved to claim And share a kinship that enduring stands ; A common heritage thine age demands ! And o'er thee, since, the bluest skies hath hung. The shining stars hath, nightly, to thee sung; And o'er thy face the sportive mists have drawn A bridal veil, full many a merry morn. And hills and crags their daily homage pay ; The rill sends up a never-ceasing lay ; While fair, wild flowerets, blooming at thy feet, Doth give to thee their incense, pure and sweet. Old Winter-King flings o'er thy rugged brow A mantle, soft, of white, unsullied snow ; And grand old Pines their stately service bend. And from dark boughs their solemn anthems send ! y- Prom thy high crest quick tears of joy doth start - As views on views delight mine eye and heart While pure and holy influences do come With the blue wreaths from mine own Dearth at home. Thou grand and mighty sire, with upturned brow ! , In vain the tempest wildlv o'er thee blow ! unchanged thou art. tho' storms o'er thee hath warred. And centuries thine ancient form hath scarred. s Thy face, forever turned to the skies. Doth teach poor mortals where to fix their eves : Ever thou spcakest of faith and hope and love. And of the eternal truth op God above. GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT. What Has Been Done for the Cause in the Bay Slate, and What it Cost. ROAD LEGISLATION NEEDED HERE. for New and Better Mail Arrangements Western North Carolina. Charlotte Observer, May 11th. It has heretofore beeo men tioned that a vestibuled limited train will be put on the Western North Carolina Railroad to-mor row, operating between Washing ton and Chattanooga. It will leave Salisbury, going west, about 8:2c a. m., a very few minutes be fore the arrival there of the north bound train which leaves Char lotte at 7 a. m. It is very likely that the schedule Of this north bound train on the main line will be quicked a few minutes, in order to make this important connection at Salisbury, as this would then give the best imaginable trip from Charlotte and the bouth to West ern North Carolina points. .Hut in the mean time the schedule. of the freight train 00 the Atlantic, Tennesse.& Ohio Railroad, which now leaves here at 7 a. m., will be changed, beginning Monday, so that the train will leave here at a. m. and connect at btatesville at 9:08 a. m. with the Western North Carolina vestibuled train. The Observer, for Statesvillee and al points west, wilf go cut on thi train, putting it at an points on the Western North Carolina Rail road, west ot statesviiie, tar in advance of any other paper, thus Statesville 9:08, Newton about 10, Hickory about 10:15, Morganton about 11, Marion about 11:45, and AsheVille about 1:30 p. m. four hours ahead of the present schedule. The paper has never before had such a schedule into Western North Carolina, and could ask for none better. It is deeply appre ciative of the kindness of the Southern Railway authorities in making this connection at States ville possible and and giving it these unprecedented facilities for reaching its large clientele in the j westerri part of the State. It is a kindness not only to it but to a large and influential pa:t of the public, which will appreciate it as keenly as the paper does. In this connection we take pleasure in bearing testimony again to the broad and accommodating spirit which actuates the present man agement of the Southern Railway. It is manifesting what is rather novel in railroad management in the bouth a genuine desire to meet the reasonable wishes of the people and we are glad to add that it is succeeding to a very marked degree and in doing so is steadily winning upon public favor and regard. Offlce-Holders Mast Not Bite the Hand that Feeds Them. St. Louis Republic. Washington, D. C, May 4. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr, of 1235 Harrison street, Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflam matory rheumatism, but has not here tofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. "It came upon me again very acute and severe." he said. "My joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent reauest of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm to re duce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it, did both. I have used three fifty-cent bot tles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant. For sale by T. L. Hemphill, Druggist. A ladv at Tooleys, La., was very sick with bilious colio when M. C. Tisler, a prominent merchant of the town gave her a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says she was well in forty minutes af ter taking the first dose. For sale by T. L. Hemphill, Druggist. President Cleveland's letter to uoveruor stone 01 Mississippi-is construed here to uieau that office holders who differ in opinion from the administration most be tern perate in their -criticism. From time to time complaints are made by administration Democrats tbrongbout the States that United States Marshals, Attorneys, Post masters aud other officials habitu ally denounce Mr. Cleveland as an agent of Wall street, and his Cabinet officers as tnete tools of Eastern cormorants. It is under stood that the President has no fault- to find with office-holders who differ in opinion from him. The President has his own views. and maintaius them steadily, and has no objeotion to every other citizeu of tho Uuited States, whether an official or a private in dividual, holding and maintaining opinions different from those of the President. But Mr Cleveland and his Cabinet officers do not be neve that it is proper lor men holding office under the admihis tratiou to habitually denounce the President aud members of' the Cabinet, and accuse them crimes .of which they are guilty. JSFThe Herald Office for Work. "Every State Should Makes Beginning la Road Improvement" No Country In the World Has Better Material for Road Building than Ha Oar State, and Labor Is Cheap Massachusetts Has Hit I'pon the Right Plan. Correspondence of The Morganton Herald. For the past three years the press of the United States has so thoroughly discussed the differ ent advantages of good roads, aud so universally endoised this re form, that all classes of our citi zens appreciate the necessity of, and are anxious for, the immedi ate adoption of such laws as will hasten the construction of State highways. Massachusetts has from the out set taken the lead in this matter, and the spirit of her Legislature has been shown by making the Highway Commission a perma nent one, and by approdjiating $300,000 to be expended, under the immediate supervision of the Commission, in constructing new and rebuilding old roads. As a natural result ot the popu- ar agitation and the monster pe tition, which I had the honor to present to Congress in 1893. the United States recognized the nec essity of a move in this 'direction, and under the "Agricultural Bill" made a special appropriation of $10,000 to meet the 'expense of a careful investigation into the con dition of roads throughout the country, and for the, publication of such information as would as sist the people in bettering their highways. The Department of Agriculture has issued a number of bulletiLS, and it is gratifying to learn that more than a score of States have already passed new road laws, while nearly all the other States have already passed new road laws, while nearly all the others are planning for the adoption of measures for the pro motion of this ref jrm. Experience has shown that the course pursued by Massachusetts is the one which commends itself most strongly; both to the people at large and to their legal repre sentatives, the various State Leg islatures, and it is natural to sup pose that if all were familiar with the work here the knowledge would be utilized to bring about similar legislation wuerever the method of procedure is still, un settled. For this reason I would call your attention and urge upon you the advisability of enlighten ing your readers on the good work we have already accomplished. Starting in June, 1892, a Tempo rary Commission was appointed to examine into the condition of the roads, and to draft a bill provid ing for the improvement of the highways of the Commonwealth. The law suggested by the Com mission was, with some changes, passed in June, 1893, but, before any petitions for construction of State highways were submitted to the General Court, an act was in troduced and passed June 20, 1894, increasing the powers of the Com mission, and permitting the select men of any town, or the Mayor and Aldermen of any city, as well as County Commissioners, to peti tion the Highway Comm ssion for taking roads as State Highways. In place of submitting to the Leg islature a separate bill for the con struction of each road, it was voted that the appropriation be used by the Highway Commission, with out further legislation, in build ing state uignways. The $300,000 has been pretty evenly divided among fourteen counties. Before deciding which of;he many petitions should be granted ah official visit was paid to -each locality, and full informa tion as to the value of the pro posed improvement collected. While this method has distributed the work in small sections of roads, thus increasing the expense per mile, the advantage to the people at large will be greater, for the reason that each portion of the State highway constructed is intended to be an object lesson to those living near by. County Commissioners and other officials will watch the work as it progress es, and follow out the same lines in building county and other roads which are not intended for State highways. ihe plan is to build, section by section, such roads as will connect the great centers of trade, and join with through roads in -other States, so that both local and in teistate ' communication will be benefited. Under date of Jaoua- Tt 1S95, the Massachusetts High way Commission has rendered a report which covers the work of tne past year, and this publication should be consulted by those who are considering legislation. The provisions of our law will permit contracts for the construc tion to be let to municipalities or to pnvate corporations, but the former arrangement is preferred, as it is more effectual in teaching the people the art of road building, and protects the Slate against cheapening the work by the im portation of foreign laborers, an element which is apt to be object ionable. A resident engineer is appoint ed by the Commission, and it is his duty to be in attendance, and keep a correct account of all items to be paid for by the State. Wherever the traffic was of suf ficient proportions to warrant it the roads ;have been broadened. The advantage to owners derived from the construction of the way is, as a rule, so much greater than the injury to them by widening the road that, in a large majority of cases, the towi officials have been able to procure releases with out any cost. Thirty-eight sections have been contracted for, and ooly eight of them are to have a width of eigh teeg feet of hardened surface, all others being fitteen feet wide. As the primary object if to get length of way, the 1 Commissioners are considering the advisability of bulling single-track roads in the thinly settled districts. These would not be over nine feet wide, with here and there- portions of double width as convenient pass ing points for carriages. A mile and a ha!f of such roads can be built for less than the cost of a mile of fifteen feet width, and the advantage in getting produce to market is not lessened, provided such construction is confined to localities where the average traffic is from six to eight vehicles an hour. There is need of legislation to regulate the care of, and responsi bility for, sidewalks on State high ways. These being of purely lo cal advantage should be under the supervision of the town, the wheelways alone being construct ed and kept in order by the State. Progress has been made in the laboratory work on the road building stores of the State. Ex periments of this kind are carried on at Harvard University In the Lawrence Scientific School, whose dean. Prof. N S. Shaler, is a mem ber of the Highway Commission. The chief aim of these inquiries has been to determine the quali ties which constitute fitness for road making. This will be of val ue to the Commission in enabling thejn to utilize the road material near at band, and thus lessen the cost of construction. As this phase of the work progresses maps are made showing the location of all deposits suitable for road build ing. A number of towns have already approated money to build their streets in the same careful manner as those constructed by the State, and others have purchased road machinery with the intention of extending the work on roads other than State highways. Careful consideration has been given to the plan of planting shade trees along the highways. With this end in view, experts have been consulted concerning the best varieties for the purpose, and the wayside trees have been ex amined, so as to determine the species well adapted to the climate and soil of Massachusetts. As the estimated expense of procuring and planting these trees is not less than one-half a million dollars, the Commission has right ly made this question secondary to road building, but in the mean time they are collecting such data as will enable them to work with profit on the adornment of the roads after the construction is well in hand. The American and English elms have the advantage of fairly rapid growth, with shade high above ground, and the leaves falling from them give but little obstruction to the gutters. They have the disadvantage of being subject to the attacks of insects, so that the cost of protecting them from these pests would be consid erable. Maples grow well and are beautiful, though they often shade the road too much. It is the cus tom in parts of Europe to plant the roadsides with trees which yield profitable crops. In France and Germany, for example, cherry trees abound. In these countries the yield of the wayside trees be longs to the neighboring land owners, but in some cases to the community, and their product is well guarded by law. There will be more or less experimenting on the part of the Commission before they decide upon the species to be planted. The law provides for the beginning of this work in the Spring of 1895, and from that time it will be carried on slowly, so as to give us the benefit of experi ence Every State should make a be ginning on road improvement. In thinly-settled regions of the coun try, where the people do not feel able to undertake much, they can do no better than to start the re form by constructing sections of single-tract roads. No communi ty can afford to neglect the com mon roadways. Our prosperity is too intimately connected with the facilities for communication. I have spent many thousands of dollars in inaugurating and ad vancing this reform, and continue to take an active part in it though for a long time I have not ad dressed you on the subject. The interest is now general, and the leaders numerous, consequent ly there is a demand for road news, more especialy for the re cent advancements in the line of actual experience. Here is what we have done in the Old Bay State. Will you not publish it, or a portion of it, for the benefit of your readers, many of whom,' without doubt, are di rectly or indirectly connected with, or interested in, the develop ment of the cause ?

C, May Sv Two Sooth Carolina laws were declared unconstitutional by the United States Court here to-day. Judge Goff held that the State machinery for the registration ot voters is an abridgment of the rights guaran teed by the constitution of the United States, and be issued an order restraining Supervisor Green from performing the duties of bis office. Judge Goff declares that the purpose of the South Carolina registration laws is to fa cilitate the voting of white citizens while making it difficult for the colored voters to prepare for cast ing their ballots. The second decision was by Judges Goff and Simooton in the suit to test the provision of the dispensary law which forbids the importation of liqaor from other States for private consumption. The coort held that this provision interfered with commerce between the States and was therefore an- constitutional. The State Honor dispensary officers were held guilt less of contempt. The State authorities, while de feated, propose to coutinne the fight. Governor Evans says seizures will be made to test the injaoctioo, bat it bad not been fully determined exactly what course would be pursued. The Southern Express officials called upon Governor Evans to find out whether they would be liable under the State law for bringing in articles that thy would, be compelled to do ondcr the decision. The Governor gave them no defiuite answer, but told, them they had better go slow until the State decided what coarse it would pursue. First Shipments or Xonh CaroUnn Tens and taboo a, May 1st. New Berne Journal, May 9th. Mr. F. a Hodges, of Gray wood farm, got off the fii st shipment of cabbage Wednesday to northern markets. They were of good size and well beaded. Mr. Hodges also got off the first peas yester day that have left New Berne this year. He bad seventy boxes of the cabbages and thirty of the peas. A colored man named Chris Hargett, of James City, a!o got off four boxes of pears. Fine turnips and elegant as para gos were a portion of the Xeuse's cargo. These have been going off in fair quantities for some little time. AH the track is later than it usually is, but if prices keep op well it will be all right in the end, and with the scarcity of such prodncts that there is io the coon try at large we see no reason why they should not.
